One of the biggest German PC-games sites is currently lamenting the death of crowdfunding thanks to the stunt Sony just pulled. They might be right if other publishers jump onto the wagon (and really, why shouldn't they?).
Crowdfunding wont die, Shenmue was a special case.
Special as a deathknell?
It certainly doesn't help if a publisher uses crowdfunding as a marketing tool.
It was to gauge interest, how many people were actually willing to but a Shenmue 3 if it were to exist. Everyone in the world can say HELL YEAH I want they needed to see how many would put their money where their mouth is.
Bloodstained did the same thing, prospective investors want to know they are paying for a dud.
In the case of Shenmue Sony's head of 3rd party relations said last night if they were to do it internally it would of been a couple years to get the pitch through all the internal channels if it even would go through at all (remember Shenmue 1/2 were massive factors in what sunk Sega as a hardware company)

Yeah, but they actually lied about it. On stage, as far as I know. I hope Gamergate will take them on, because... :P
Fucking working joes man. If they grab you on nightmare it's guaranteed death. The mash 'e' thing only shows up on screen for like two frames before they snap your neck.

Yes that is true and should be called out for it.

It's always interesting to see how the company responds to similar events very differently depending on who is involved.
Boring guy that we hired despite initially rejecting because everybody else turned the job down and we were desperately short handed: gets cholera or whooping cough or something and ends up out of the office for two months -> nobody really notices
Hard working, well liked chap spends a night in hospital due to an allergic reaction: there's a company wide get well soon card

It's been done before though.
Veronica Mars wasn't fully funded through KS for instance.

Shenmue is special because it's the first. In five years we'll know if it was unique or a starting pistol.

I'm going digital from PS Store for MGSV, broar
It's a tiny discount ($105AUD, Australia tax), and if it preloads onto my system I can just boot up my console on the 1st and prepare for 72 hours of sitting on the couch, doing nothing but play that game

Because with a million million tons of TNT we can replicate the impact.
Space Engineers planets are going to be large, as in compared to other things in the game, but not in real terms
I think around 50 kilometers in diameter, although there's nothing stopping you from adding as many zeros as you please
similarly the built in warheads are about as explosive as you would expect a cubic meter of C4 to be (and explosive power does travel along surfaces, so that if you put on on the outside of a ship it will cause much less damage than if one detonates inside a ship, the game also has explosive decompression as of a few weeks ago), but there's nothing stopping you from adding zeros to the magnitude of an explosion
planets, like asteroids, can be drilled, mined, and blown up so you could just blow a planet up presumably?
The coolest thing to me about planets is that most ships people design, big hulking monstrosities, are utterly useless within a gravity well. Even 1G means a hilarious thrust/mass ratio is necessary to keep the thing from falling, so capital ships by necessity must be built in space and stay in space and use landing craft that are mostly engines and reactors to get down to a surface
Most large ships, if landed on a planet, will simply collapse under their own weight as well (you need mods to approximate this effect until planets are in)

The trip to new Jersey is apparently actually a trip to somewhere in California.
Probably a better trip, but a real pain to manage the project due to timezones

It's a weird feeling of just walking out of the office when the network is completely down. But when the damn firewall you need to punch the power button on is hidden and no one in charge of that stuff can explain where, then yeah, hell with it.

One of the most important rules of legislation is that nothing should be prohibited without good reason.
it was rather delicious.

I am beginning to doubt your commitment to Operation Dust Bowl.
Yeah, but they actually lied about it. On stage, as far as I know. I hope Gamergate will take them on, because... :P
what's the most powerful explosive block in space engineers, in units of TNT equivalence?
I have no idea, I don't own the game.
Hoping it will go on steeper sale.
Yes that is true and should be called out for it.
Hardly. It came in at 20 km/s.

got me a hot date scheduled with a panda suit
enough to get you to orbit, and then a relatively small amount more
the sort of thing any starship worth its salt could do
Are the two things related?
